<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 26080825, member: 27832&quot;]I thought about it back when LASIK was just getting widely established. I loved the idea of having <i>better</i> than 20/20 vision, which can happen if you&#039;re very lucky.</p><p><br /></p><p>But then I realized that I spend a <i>lot</i> of my time, probably most of it, looking at things that are close -- and for that, my native nearsightedness is actually an advantage. And when I hit my 40s and started to lose focal accommodation (as nearly everyone does), I could <i>still</i> look at coins or screens or gadgets by just peering <i>under</i> my glasses.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mind you, if they ever find a reliable way to <i>restore</i> focal accommodation, I&#039;ll be sorely tempted. But I&#039;m also aware that I get only one pair of eyes, and even a 1% risk of an adverse outcome is more of a gamble than I&#039;m willing to take with them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
